is homosexuality a choice?

well, in childhood we all choose to want to be straight at childhood, just because that's "the way to be." But when gay or bisexual people become openly attracted to their own gender or take the time to search in themselves and realise that that's not true, they realise who they are.
When straight people get to that age they become attracted to the opposite gender, as expected.
Ugh I dunno if I'm making sense.
 
You're making sense but I don't think you are correct, IMO. I think I chose to be straight around the same time others "discovered" they were gay.
 
This question cannot be answered. It's a case-by-case basis. Some people might be born gay, other people might have converted. I wish we would get passed the point where homosexuals need to be justified by "genetics." Who's to say that, even if someone is born with a doubly gay genes, they can't suddenly awaken to the joys of vaginal sex (edit: errr, or penis-based sex, depending on gender) and never turn back, or vice versa?

Somewhat. I won't get on here and say I know everything about this subject, especially the biological part; but I think it is a balance of nature Vs. nurture, nurture weighing more. I believe ultimately it is a choice.

sadly, being one of the younger bluelighters, I can assure you that it is becoming a "trend" to fake being gay or, far more often, bisexual. And its been going on for a while now. I would suggest its a way of "standing out". And a good way to make drama by stating everyone and everything around you is discriminating against and victimising you.
Now I'm actually gay and I obviously find this incredibly annoying, because my first proper boyfriend was one of these people, and seeing as it was my first "special" relationship with somebody I wanted it to be perfect. He got a girlfriend about 3 days after he finished me.
Well, I am both gay and young, and I honestly don't understand what you mean when you say that it is becoming a trend.

You dated a bisexual (or confused, probably) guy and he dumped you for a girl. That is nothing new. My statement was about straight people pretending to be gay for some kind of perceived benefit.
 
You can't really say, "Wait, if being gay is genetic and they don't reproduce, how come it's still in the population?" Well, it could hide recessively, and it may be advantageous for the society or social group for that recessive trait to hang out and produce a homo every now and then. If gayness protects the social group/clan, it'll be selected for,

This has more to do with the issue than any of the science:

An article in The Advocate, a gay-positive magazine states:

"Polls repeatedly indicate that Americans who believe sexual orientation is either genetic or biological are much more likely to support gay and lesbian civil rights than those who believe it is determined primarily by environmental influences."


To this date there have been no genetic markers found that show a high homology with all gay "phenotypes".

A lot of the studies have been shown to be bad science by wishful homosexuals, especially the Xq28 thing.

Monkeymantra was on the right track.
 
Is it important that "a" prefers chocolate icecream while "b" prefers strawberry?

It just shouldnt be an issue period.
 
Well if liking chocolate ice cream had the potential to make you a social outcast and have everyone from your friends to your family abandon you then, yes, it more than likely would be an issue. You can't even begin to compare the two.

haha, Damien, all I said was...........it shouldnt be an issue.

I am well aware that it is...........
 
Personally, being atttracted to both sexes - mostly females though - I do believe homosexuality to be a natural attribute of our personas. (as in some have feel it or have it, and some don't.)

I think it may differ from sexual reproduction in that it may be for purely for sexual pleasure that homosexuals/lesbians get with each other. I think this is the key point of this argument.
